回复：『T.S. 89』滚石文章翻译：为TS的115首歌排名（并附评价）

26. "Teardrops on My Guitar" (2006)
One of her defining early smashes – and the one that marked her crucialcrossover to the minivan-mom adult audience, where country stars do most oftheir business. It also inspired the first anti-Taylor answer song – Joe Jonassang, "I'm done with superstars/And all the tears on her guitar" in2009, on the JoBros' instantly forgotten Lines, Vines and Trying Times.
Best line: "Drew walks by me/Can he tell that I can'tbreathe?"
一首决定她发展路线的早期热单，通过此曲，她也成功把歌曲受众扩展到了其他乡村明星的主要支持群体——开着小型货车的成年母亲们。这首歌也启发了第一首回应她的anti曲：Joe Jonas在2009年发行（但立即就被遗忘的）的Lines,Vines and Trying Times. 中唱到"I'mdone with superstars/And all the tears on her guitar"

25. "Sad Beautiful Tragic" (2012)
She must have heard a Mazzy Star song on the radio that morning andthought, "Hey, this sounds like fun." All the details are in place,from her woozy Hope Sandoval mumble to the way Nathan Chapman nails Sandoval'sexact tambourine sound. Such an underrated Red gem, one she's almostnever done live. Would any other songwriter on Earth have the sheer gall to getaway with that title? Let's hope nobody tries.
Best line: "You've got your demons, and, darling, they all looklike me."
她肯定是某天早上在电台里听到了Mazzy Star的歌，并且觉得“嘿，这歌听起来还不错”。从她那微醉的Hope Sandoval式含糊唱腔，到Nathan Chapman完美掌控的Sandoval式铃鼓声，所有的细节都各得其所。Red当中被低估的珍宝，她从未现场演唱过这首歌。这个世界上还会有词曲人能怨得那么纯粹，以致于选择这样的歌名吗？希望没有人做这样无谓的尝试（去挑战她这首）。

24. "Mine" (2010)
"You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter" is oneof those hooks where she seems to cram a whole life story into one line.
Best line: "I was a flight risk with a fear of falling."
"You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter"是那种难得一闻的抓耳唱段，她好像把一生的故事都浓缩进这一句里了。

23. "This Love" (2014)
A meditative 1989 nocturne – half acoustic introspection, halfelectro reverie – as she genuflects in the midnight hour.
Best line: "I could go on and on/And I will."
五专中一首深入思考的夜曲。当她在深夜屈膝冥想的时候写出了这首一半是原声自省，一半是电子幻想的歌。

21. "Mean" (2010)
A banjo-core Tay-visceration of people who are mean, liars, pathetic,and/or alone in life, including the ones who live in big old cities. Always aconcert highlight, showcasing her murderers' row of a band, the Agency.
Best line: "Drunk and grumbling on about how I can'tsing."
一首班卓琴为主旋律的歌，它是Tay对那些刻薄、撒谎、可悲、没有同伴的人的反击，包括那些顽固不化“住在大城市的人”。在演唱会上永远是亮点，能很好地展示她的乐队TheAgency的独特魅力。

20. "I Knew You Were Trouble" (2012)
It slams like a lost Blondie hit, from somewhere between ParallelLines and Eat to the Beat. The way she sings the word"drown-i-i-i-ing" alone makes it.
Best line: "He was long gone when he met me/And I realize the jokeis on me."
听起来像是Blondie失散的亲单曲，大概是Parallel Lines 和 Eat to the Beat之间的吧。单单她那个"drown-i-i-i-ing"的唱法就足够支撑我的看法了。

19. "Tim McGraw" (2006)
We knew she was trouble when she walked in – or at least we should haveguessed from her debut single. You couldn't make this up – a nervy high schoolkid shows up with a country ballad she whipped together after math class oneday, about slow dancing in the moonlight to the pickup truck radio: "Whenyou think Tim McGraw/I hope you think of me." Within a couple of years,she's an even bigger star than McGraw is.
Best line: "He said the way my blue eyes shined/Put those Georgiapines to shame that night/I said, 'That's a lie.'"
她刚踏进乐坛我们就知道她是个大麻烦了，起码我们可以从她的首单猜到。你不可能编得出这样的故事：一个极易激动的高中生带着一首数学课后写就的乡村抒情歌现身乐坛，歌曲内容是在月光下就着车载电台的歌声慢舞——"Whenyou think Tim McGraw/I hope you think of me."仅仅几年后她就比Tim McGraw还出名了。

18. "Style" (2014)
Not always a subtle one, our Tay. This extremely 1986-sounding synth-popgroove is full of hushed-breath melodrama, where even the guy taking off hiscoat can feel like a plot twist. (Why would he keep his coat on? This is hisapartment.) And the long-running songwriting badminton between her and HarryAllegedly is pop call-and-response the way it ought to be – no matter how muchmisery it might bring into their personal lives, for the rest of us it meansone great tune after another. (Yeah, OK, plus the one about the snowmobile.)
Best line: "You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye/And Igot that red lip classic thing that you like."
我们的Tay不总是含糊其辞的。这首听起来非常1986年风格的synth pop充满低语的情节剧，就连男生把外套脱下来都像是个转折（他为什么会穿着外套呢？这可是在他的公寓里）她和据称是Harry的男主角不断互相写歌，这就叫流行乐的一唱一和，不管这种行为给他们的个人生活带来多少未解谜团，这对我们来说都意味着好歌一首接一首（好吧，还应该包括那首关于雪地摩托车的歌【OOTW】）

17."State of Grace" (2012)
She opens Red with one of hergrandest love songs in arena-rock drag, and the U2 vibe makes sense since she's also got a red guitar and the truth. If"State of Grace" is her U2 song, what's the U2 song that sounds mostlike Taylor? Probably "All I Want Is You," though you could make astrong case for "A Sort of Homecoming."
Best line: "Up in your room andour slates are clean/Twin fire signs, four blue eyes."
Red的开场曲是她关于爱情的歌里面格局最宏大的一首体育馆摇滚歌，认为其中蕴含U2的感觉完全说得过去，因为她也有一把红色的吉他，并且掌握真理。如果SOG是她的U2之歌，U2的歌里面又有哪首听着比较像Taylor呢？可能是All I WantIs You, 不过说是A Sort Of Homecoming也言之有理。

16. "Sparks Fly" (2010)
"Drop everything now! Meet me in the pouring rain!" Oh, thisgirl loves her precipitation scenes, but "Sparks Fly" really bringsthe thunder. It shows off her uncanny power to make a moment sound gauchelyprivate and messily public at the same time. (The new Waxahatchee album hasanother excellent song called "Sparks Fly" – norelation.)
Best line: "Just keep on keeping your eyes on me."
"Drop everything now! Meet me in the pouring rain!"这个女孩真是太喜欢她的固定场景了，但是Sparks Fly却真正如雷鸣让人闻之难忘。这首歌展现了她既能把一个场景描述得非常私密，又同时很公开【gauchely和messily实在是翻不进去，能人来帮帮我吧】（Waxahatchee的新专中也有一首很好的叫Sparks Fly的歌，不过和这首没关系）

15. "Fifteen" (2008)
"In your life you'll do bigger things than date the boy on thefootball team/I didn't know that at 15." Still south of her twenties, shesings her compassionately, sisterly yet hardass advice to her fellow teenagegirls. (Spoiler: Boys are always lying about everything.)
Best line: "We both cried."
"In your life you'll do bigger things than date the boy on thefootball team/I didn't know that at 15."还未满20岁的她轻唱着给同龄少女的建议，充满姐妹般的关怀，体恤却又非常现实。（剧透：男孩们总是在撒谎）

14. "Ours" (2010)
Like so many of her songs, "Ours" sounds like it could be channelingthe 16-blue mojo of the Replacements' punk-rock bard Paul Westerberg.(Melodically, it evokes "When It Began," though it feels more like"I Will Dare.") Especially the best line, which is possibly thebest-est "best line" on this list, and which I sing to myself a meredozen times a day.
Best line: "Don't you worry your pretty little mind/People throwrocks at things that shine."
【不想翻第一句了，反正就是很像文章引言部分就提到了的Paul Westerberg就是了】尤其是这首歌的最佳歌词，基本是这个排名中最佳里的最佳，我一天要唱好几次。

13. "Begin Again" (2012)
"You said you never met one girl who had as many James Taylorrecords as you," indeed. Sweet Baby Tay drops a deceptively simple balladthat sneaks up and steamrolls all over you, as an unmelodramatic coffee dateleads to an unmelodramatic emotional connection. She's always been outspokenabout her mad love for her namesake JT andCarly Simon, but"Begin Again" could be the finest collabo they never wrote.
Best line: "You don't know why I'm coming off a little shy/But Ido."
"You said you never met one girl who had as many James Taylorrecords as you," 确实这样。甜甜的babyTay发行了一首简单得很有迷惑性的抒情歌，它悄悄地接近你，然后不费吹灰之力就把你击败：一场没有什么波澜的咖啡馆约会，结果是一段平平淡淡的感情。她经常讲述自己对JamesTaylor（她名字的来源）和Carly Simon的疯狂迷恋，但是Begin Again大概是他俩从来没合作出来过的超级好歌。

12. "Fearless" (2008)
Oh, Fearless, it's easy to take you for granted sometimes. Thefirst time I heard her sophomore record (the record company literally played itover the phone for me because they were so afraid of it leaking) I thought,"Holy cats, this is a perfect pop album. She'll never top this." Thenshe topped it three times in a row, to the point where it's one of history'smost curiously overlooked perfect pop albums. The title anthem gathers so manyof her favorite tropes in one chorus – rain, cars, fancy dresses, boys whostare at her while driving instead of watching the damn road, shy girls posingas brave and faking it till they make it – and builds up to a swoon.
Best line: "You're so cool, run your hands through yourhair/Absent-mindedly making me want you."
Fearless有时候很容易被忽视。我第一次听到二专的时候（唱片公司在电话里放给我听的，因为他们太怕泄露了）就想：“老天啊，这简直是张完美的流行专。她再出不了更好的专辑了。”然后她就一连三次出了比Fearless更好的专辑。这首同名曲在副歌中涵盖了许多她喜欢用的意象——雨、车、漂亮裙子、开车时情愿看她都不看那该死的路的男生，还有假装勇敢实际害羞的女孩（一直装到他们真正在一起）——然后她组合出了一首让人着迷的歌。
